There’s currently no option to set authentication_method on the Kafka listener. I hard-coded this into the defaults.j2 for the time-being. Could this be made into a variable that can be toggled if SASL is enabled or is there another way to achieve the same?
"kafka_api": [
{
"address": "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].private_ip }}",
"port": "{{ redpanda_kafka_port }}",
"authentication_method": "sasl"
}
],
